Moylans Tipperary Pale Ale

Brewed by Moylans Brewery & Restaurant
Style: American Pale Ale
Novato, California USA

Bomber with gputty. HUGE off white, rocky head over a hazy gold body. Orange/tangerine nose with some underlying sweet malt. Sweetly bitter citrus flavors, more tangerine. Resinous finish. Liked this one quite a bit!

Tap at Barclay’s in Oakland. Body of a pale ale, hopped more like an American IPA without going overboard. slightly musty hop aroma that reminds me of moonlight’s twist of fate. extremely unique hop flavor, a sharp/floral/vegetal bitterness combination that reminds me of curry leaves. good malt backbone without giving me the impression that the finishing gravity was overly high. nice low alcohol makes it easy to enjoy a few pints. Excellent pale ale. Thanks James.

Partly cloudy orange-copper body with a short-lived white head. Some light watered down caramel in a watery thin body. Some fruity/grassy hops supply a welcomed light to medium bitterness. Hard to describe anymore than this. Competently put together but ultimately generic session beer. Named in the honour of their Tipperary County founding fathers, may they be remembered longer than this forgettable beer.

22 oz. bottle purchased through HiTimeWine - Pours a clear orangish-golden color with a small off white head. Very light lacing. Has a citrus hop aroma. Has a bitter citrus hop flavor. The beer seems to coat the tongue. Dry finish. Medium body. Decent beer

Bottle. Clear, pale copper color with a frothy white head. Caramel malt aroma awith a slight hop note. Toasted malt flavor along with a slight piney hop note.

Medium hazy amber pour. Rather shy nose proposes soft honeyed biscuitiness that backs the mostly crisp, spicy, herbal and citrusy hops. Green profile, rather sweet, though the bitterness eventually comes out decently and without procuring no abrasiveness. Remains quite spicy and dry. Nice little pale ale in the rules of the art and adding little touches here and there.

Bottle. Poured hazy copper color with a large off-white fizzy head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium smooth bitter flavor with a medium bitter finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.

Any first impressions?
-A mild veil covers the light amber orange.
-Worty sweetness and the citrusy character of pink grapefruit provide a simple aroma.
-Weak honeyed cereals and strolling orangey fruitiness show signs of weakening.
-The low carbonation appears to emulate a cask mouthfeel, as the lean maltiness is showcased in all in its lackadaisicality.

What if you dig deeper?
-Is that DMS rising in the aroma, or are the herbal hops exceedingly vegetal?
-Timid grassy hop bitterness announces its presence, but fails to garner any interest.
-This bottle might not be fresh, but we don’t know since there is no date whatsoever on the bottle.
-This decent pale ale is obviously made for sessions, but in this form it is highly forgettable.

Bottle; no date.
